Is there a tool list for Gen 1s?

Is there a comparable Gen 1 version of this list? socket sizes, torx sizes, etc...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:I will turn comments into a proper list here (and assign authorship) when i have time.

 

13 and 14mm pretty much take the whole truck apart with a couple of exceptions.
But no, I don't think there is a list written up on here. I carry a basic set of wrenches, deep sockets, allen wrenches and Torx bits. And a deadblow, I seem to use that one a lot.
All of it came from Harbor Freight

Nice to see you are local.

 

There are some 10 and 12 MM head bolts around too

 

I agree. Just hoping to not have to carry more than is needed even if that means splitting up a ratchet set. I am trying to organize first aid, chains, emergency crap, maps and tools in that little space behind the seat so every bit counts.

I have every intention to do the same. If i am going to keep emergency tools in the truck and they might never be used "Made in China" is the brand to have. And if the truck ever gets broken into and the poor sob only gets a harbor freight ratchet set with some of the bits removed to save weight... I preemptively have my revenge.

Yeah! i will send a message shortly. I had stumbled on your build page before and didn't notice your location.

 

You should be ok with a 10mm to 24mm deep socket set and wrench set. Ratchet with extension. Breaker/cheater bar.

 

Every socket from 10 to 24 is used on this truck?
I have a breaker bar in the garage, but it will not make it to the emergency kit behind the seat... i will just kick it or something.

 

Is it weird that i've always kept my breaker bar next to my seat at all times?

 

In a way, yes...Its not only preparing for your truck, but anybody and their particular model you might encounter in a "emergency" situation.

No, that doesn't mean you need the kitchen sink, but having more than 4 sockets might help... skip the breaker bar and eat your wheaties Though they are good for beating potential truck thieves with...

I have some parts on my truck that require ASE now, all others are OEM metric. I used to carry only 10mm ( battery/ misc small interior bolts) 12mm ( a lot of shit) 14mm ( a lot of shit, maybe on par w/12mm) open ended and socket in 1/2 and 3/8's w/ extensions and the odd vice grip/ adjustable/ screw driver/ dead blow plus special lug tool....now I pack a bigger set to help friends, etc. and have had it come in handy a lot, not much more space in the Xtra cab. And you got a DC!!

 

Yeah. I have a nice SAE and metric shallow and deep set at home. And i have for 2 decades carried a full SAE and Metric set in my car or truck for just that reason. As an EMT i have seen roll over after roll over and I am anchoring everything i can and removing what i do not need I have a baby now. There is almost NO storage in that 4 door once you add a 2 year old (hehehe), yeah, i am going to make a minimalist kit. I can bring more on a big climbing or canyoneering trip, but for day to day use I just need to learn to go light.

good start to a list. thanks.

"special lug tool" huh?

 

Funny if I have a issue far from help I want the best tools I own I have had China built ratchets break wrenches bend .

One of the best things I have in all my vehicle tool boxes is the Irwin Sockets for rounded hardware .

I guess it is just me I have never used a 13mm socket or wrench unless someone has installed Din 8mm bolts

 

8/10/12/14/17/19 are the standard sizes for pretty much all Toyota bolt heads. However, assuming your truck isn't stock, you can have all different sizes of bolts. So a set that includes 10-24 is a fantastic idea.

A high quality flare nut wrench is a must for brake lines. And by high quality, something that won't flex when you try and remove lines.

 

Great. that is gunna save me like 20g.

 

I have so far tried to make everything 10 or 14. I removed some jury rigged fixes from the previous owner that used SAE. I kinda got to start from scratch and kept this topic in mind.
My buddy had a diesel land rover defender. It had only 4 head sizes. So nice. some skinny bolts with a giant head on them for just that reason.

 

I just found a great source for bolts. Bel-Metric. They list bolt head sizes, and they also have JIS bolts and flanges bolts as well.

 

My standard "thinned" toyota truck tool kit consists of:

2 each box end wrenches (usually 1 reg and 1 ratcheting)
8,10,12,13,14,15,17,19,24

1/4" drive sockets:
8-14, 1 ratchet and at least a 6" of extensions

3/8" drive sockets:
10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17. 12" of extensions and 2 ratchets

1/2" drive sockets:
14,15,16,17,18,19,22,24. 12" of extensions and 1 ratchet and an 18" cheater bar
1 set of drive reducers and increaser

Here is a pro tip for you guys. Leave the common sizes like 10,12,14,ect on ratchets and extensions. I have even color coded them for super easy id.

1-4 telescoping magnetic nut retriever
2 6" C clamps
1 crescent wrench of each size
1 sml, med, lrg pry bar
1 sml ball peen hammer, a med 20oz ish hammer, and a BFH of at least 4lbs and can be used with 2 hands
an assortment of pliers and screw drives including channel locks
a medium or large sized coffee can of toyota nuts, bolts, washers, and bushings of all sizes

All of this (minus the BFH) should fit in one of those 20" toolboxes from sears or home depot

 

GREAT!!!! THANKS!!!!




I might use Ctrl^F on the service manual and look for words like "torx" to find rare tools on important component, later, like winter later, I will post it here.

 

I hope to update the original post to include all things mentioned.

Just wanted to add the handle of a hi-lift makes a decent breaker bar. AND that a small bracket on the OEM trailer hitch that holds the light wire harness plug is not metric.
